Of all the flowers you have made

You show me a Lotus blooming

Why?

The beauty?

The mud?

The trials and hardships?

Why can a single flower bloom even in the harshest of environments?

You show me your splendor and wisdom.

Anything can bloom given the right tool for survival.

You have given everyone the tool

The Word.

The Bible.

Jesus.

I want to bloom like a little Lotus.

Beautiful and true

In my every environment.

To share your beauty of what you did

For everyone to know the trials and hardships you knew then and you know today.

Even though people are persecuted

They still persecute and reject you.

Oh the pain and hurt you must feel

And yet you don't lash out

You wait

So patiently

For the day that they will truly see you

Your mercy and grace

Your love and forgiveness

The opportunity to bloom in the knowledge of knowing you

One day everyone

Will be your little lotus.
